village was Karapınar. However, during the railway construction years Belemedik replaced the former name. According to one source the name of the village is the corrupt form of the Turkish word Bilemedik meaning We couldn't guess. During the railway construction, each tunnel was bored by two teams working at the opposite sides of the tunnel. The teams were required to meet at the midpoint. When for any reason, one team failed to accomplish the task, the excuse was the word bilemedik and in German pronunciation it became belemedik. References Villages in Pozantı District Taurus Mountains
