Inclusion Criteria: 1. Age less than physiologic 68 years. 2. Patients with NHL and HL with an indication for allogeneic transplantation as follows: * Aggressive lymphoma and Hodgkin lymphoma; relapse after autologous transplants * Follicular lymphoma; failure of at least one prior regimen 3.

Matching is based on high-resolution class I (HLA-A, -B, -C) and class II (HLA-DRB1, -DQB1) typing. The goal is to transplant \> 3 x 106 CD34+ cells per kg body weight of the recipient 5. Patients must sign written informed consent 6. Adequate birth control in fertile patients Exclusion Criteria: 1. Overt progressive disease prior to transplantation. 2. Bilirubin \> 3.0 mg/dl, transaminases \> 3 times upper normal limit 3. Creatinine \> 2.0 mg/dl 4. ECOG-Performance status \> 2 5. Uncontrolled infection 6. Pregnancy or lactation 7. Abnormal lung diffusion capacity (DLCO \< 40% predicted) 8. Severe cardiovascular disease 9. CNS disease involvement 10. Pleural effusion or ascites \> 1 liter 11. Known hypersensitivity to fludarabine or treosulfan 12. Psychiatric conditions/disease that impair the ability to give informed consent or to adequately co-operate
