What is the name of the lake in German Southwest in which the German Schutztruppe dumped their weapons during ww1?

Re: The official AHF German Colonies quiz thread
Let me continue with a question.
It is being searched for: The name of a village in the former German Colony Togo, which was located
as the border station on the largest river and, still under the same name belongs nowadays to Ghana.
