• The normal plural is Männer, which can be used in all contexts and is now used exclusively in contexts other than the following.
• The unchanged plural Mann (inherited from Old and Middle High German) is sometimes used after numerals. It means "men" as a measure for size or strength of a group rather than 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 unchanged plural. This may actually include women.
• 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").
