Here is my opinion. This is the position before 16.Kh1:

Anderssen may have thought about his opponent's options.

If black was to play he might try ...Ne5 because if Nxe5 fxe5 there is a potential pin on the f-pawn so that ...c4 is a threat:

But after 16.Kh1, if black had now played 16... Ne5 then 17. Nxe5 fxe5 18. f4!

...and white is okay.

Apr-14-20  chesslad: Anderssen's idea with Kh1 is to follow with Rg1 and advance the g pawn, exchanging it, thereby gaining an open g-file with which to attack the Black King. This attack is often seen in Anderssen's games where he played White in the Evans Gambit.
