1925, Milwaukee America Kalender, volume 45, Geo. Brumder, Milwaukee, page 20:
de Heiraten sich Mann und Frau, so besitzen beide gewisses Eigentum, selbst wenn dies nur Kleider sind. Man and woman get married, so both possess certain property, even when this is only clothes.
2007, Anton Schiefner, edited by Hartmut Walravens, Übersetzungen aus dem tibetischen Kanhjur. Beiträge zur Buddhismuskunde und zur zentralasiatischen Märchenforschung, Harrasowitz Verlag, Wiesbaden, p. 25 and 29:
Da er ihn nicht in der Sonne aber auch nicht im Schatten bringen lassen sollte, befahl er dem Manne, den Topf an die Spitze eines Stockes zu binden und mit einem dünnen Gewande zu bedecken.
Since he was not supposed to let it be brought in the sun but also not in the shade, he directed the man to tie the pot onto the point of a stick and to cover it with a thin garment.
Dem Manne aber sagte er: [...]

Usage notes
The normal plural is Männer, which can be used in all contexts and is now the only plural used in ordinary contexts. The plural Mannen is now rare and somewhat poetic. It usually means a group of men, often soldiers, under the command or leadership of someone: Cäsars Mannen ("Caesar's men"). It is sometimes heard in sports jargon: die Mannen von Trainer XY ("coach XY's men").
The singular Mann is sometimes used after numbers. It means "men" (and may also include women) as a measure for the size or strength of a group rather than as individuals: Mit drei Mann können wir den Schrank heben – "With three people we can lift the cupboard." Military or police personnel, team members, demonstrators and the like are often counted using this singular. Using the singular for quantities can also be done with other units, such as weight, length, money, etc. Compare the use of singular for quantity also in English in adjective phrases, such as "a ten kilometer race" or "a five dollar bill". This singular Mann is not the same as the obsolete unchanged plural Mann, which was inherited from Old and Middle High German, and was used through the Early New High German period.
