Holstein Partitions of 1261 and 1273
After 1261 the previously jointly ruling brothers Gerhard I and the elder John I divided the Counties of Holstein and Schauenburg (Schaumburg). Gerhard I received the Counties of Holstein-Itzehoe and Schaumburg, whereas John received the County of Holstein-Kiel. After the death of John I, his sons Adolphus V and John II reigned jointly in Holstein-Kiel. In 1273 they partitioned Holstein-Kiel and John II continued ruling over Kiel; Adolphus V the Pomeranian then received Segeberg (aka County of Stormarn). Adolphus V was succeeded by his nephew Adolphus VII. Lacking a male successor upon the death of Adolphus VII in 1315, Holstein-Segeberg was reincorporated into Holstein-Kiel.
