Son of Rav Yaakov Yitzchok Horowitz, the Chozeh of Lublin. He was named after his father’s father-in-law, Rav Hirsh of Lanczut. His first marriage was to the daughter of Rav Aryeh Leib of Valtshisk. His second marriage was to the daughter of Rav Nota of Chelm.

When Rav Hirsch MeShares of Rymanow was ill, he heard of it and visited him saying, our names are the same: you are named Rav Tzvi Hirsch ben Sprintza and I, too, am Tzvi Hirsh ben Sprintza, I hereby accept your decree of death upon myself. He passed away a short while later on 23 Av תקצ"ג and was laid to rest in Rimanov.
