How did the position of the nobility change in the 19th century?

In the 19th century, the role of the nobility was still high. But their powers largely depended on the will of the emperor. The rulers of this time relied on the military in order to maintain monarchical power and successfully operate in external directions. The nobility was supported by the state in order to maintain a stable situation, and extensive benefits were canceled. By the end of the 19th century, the estates as such were a thing of the past. Capitalists and bankers began to occupy a high position.
