[!TLDR]

No — the Wein bridge feedback network gives 0∘0^\circ phase shift at the oscillation frequency.

A Wein bridge oscillator uses a non-inverting amplifier, which itself contributes 0∘0^\circ phase shift. For the total loop shift to be 0∘0^\circ (the phase condition for oscillation), the feedback bridge network must also contribute no phase shift. This happens exactly at the balance (resonant) frequency f=1/(2πRC)f = 1/(2\pi RC), where the phase angle of the RC network is zer …
