He is a graduate of the Berlin script school Ars Dramatica and carried out a research project on the representation of authors in feature films at the German Film and Television Academy Berlin (dffb).

The name Viktor Iro is a pseudonym of the cultural scientist Dirk Hohnsträter. The Hungarian word "író" means "writer, writer". Iro uses a pseudonym because he believes that literary writing requires a different self-image and a different approach than academic work.

In his travel essays published by Piper Verlag in 2009 (2nd, updated edition 2013) , Iro deals with the past and present of Hungary . His narrative debut is a detective novel set in what is now Budapest.
